Bummer... My prior car was much lower than the pictures shown for the Eibach lowering kit for the i4, and yes it can be annoying to drive/maneuver steep driveways and bumps/humps (But I let my front lip take all the damage)...
However, this car just sits way too high in my opinion... (maybe I was too used to my prior F30, with a finger gap between tire and fender)
I have adaptive and Eibach said the kit is for an M50.
I also have the TÜV certification for the spring kit for the car. ACS also has a kit for adaptive suspension and it's just springs and links. They also have the TÜV certification.
It still rides well. Sport is a little stiffer, but that's to be expected. Turn in is better and the car feels really solid.
I exclusively drive in sport mode. Why?
Because I'm coming from a bunch of M cars but my last was a 335i on B8's and M-Sport springs. I like the way it feels in sport mode.
I set the individual options for sport suspension and steering when I picked up the car and never looked back.

I have the Eibach kit on my M50.
Camber isn't adjustable in the front and if you are worried spend the $500 on camber plates because they can be installed at no additonal cost.
The camber on my car is still within spec. I was told by the suspension guy if I was worried about tire wear, dial out the toe, which can be adjusted.
On the front my toe is . 12 degrees on each side.
On the rear is . 09 degrees.
This keeps scrubbing to a minimum.
As far as feel.
My car feels more planted. It's a bit more firm but coming from my last car that had Bilstein B8 on M-Sport springs. So it's definitely not that firm.
The steering is also a bit more responsive.
